God blessed me with a creative soul, knowing it would comfort and nurture me in this crazy world.
May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us; establish the work of our hands for us-- yes, establish the work of our hands.
Psalm 90:17

My sweet friend, Kathy, delivered this little fall wall hanging to me over the weekend. It was a belated birthday gift and I just love it. Fall is my time of the year and if I were in a bit better shape, I'd actually be the one jumping into these leaves! Thank you so very much, Kathy.... I love it!

I decided to put up a few Christmas decorations yesterday and my trusty assistant, Oliver, was happy to help me. In spite of his help, I did manage to put up the tree and a few other festive items. I didn't put out much since my health has been a bit iffy and didn't want to get in over my head. You know the saying, "what goes up, must come down" and it's a lot of work!

Here's my little 3' table top tree, wearing only lights and a star. (I truly only put up a few things.) I like to turn the tree lights on in the evening and just enjoy the peacefulness of its' presence.

I did add a few other things around the house, a Christmas wall hanging on the door, Christmas place mats at the tables, a few figurines, that kind of thing. Again, easy to put away at the end of the season....very little muss, very little fuss!

About Me

I learned to sew when I was 4 years old. My dear Aunt Billie, now with the Lord, taught me how to make a simple pillow slip on her treadle sewing machine. Who knew that would be the beginning of a lifetime of creativity!
